These Narconon Course Books listed on page one are a terrific resource for providing insight to the families of loved ones who have done or are currently doing the program. In them you will learn how the Narconon 'student' is indoctrinated into Scientology

The information is good in helping people deal with their loved one better during or after being in a Narconon program, especially if the loved one has cut off communication or is treating you differently.

I completely forgot that TR6-9 are referred to as "upper indocs" and aren't usually practiced in the beginnings of Scientology.

However, they are always used in Narconon and students perform these drills.

And the real term for upper indocs are "upper indoctrination" drills. If these are in Narconon then indoctrination into what?

.......Scientology

Yes... the Upper Indoc Drills TR 6-9 are done for many early on. They are part of the HQS course ( Hubbard Qualified Scientologist Course ) HQS is the first course done after intro courses, when a beginner is turned into a beginner scientologist. It is now a Division 6 New Public introductory course.

So each Narconon student who completes TRs 5-9 is becoming qualified as a scientologist

How I would love to have a scientologist go over each section of the Hubbard Qualified Scientologist course and explain exactly which parts (TRs, light objectives, basic study, conditions, etc) ARE scientology and which parts aren't.

Since NARCONON claims not to be scientology then I would assume that most of the HQS isn't scientology either.

I always make sure the attorneys have them. I'm working on locating the Scientology equivalents, so if anyone has links to any copies of those course packs, please post them here.

I also send links to these book to the people who have loved ones in the program at the moment, who are concerned and have contacted me for help. Especially the book on Ups and Downs, when disconnection seems on the horizon because of the loved one's open criticism of the program to the student and staff. It's important for them to know what they are up against.

From the archived pages such as rehabilitatenz.co.nz to show here the the withdrawal part of Narconon versus sauna parts of the program which in Scientology is called the Purification Rundown. Just some more Further info on Narconon being composed of Scientology procedures.

The sauna component of Narconon is the same thing as Scientology's Purification Rundown. Here are archived pages explaining that program ( note that the programs are the same and that the book Clear Body Clear Mind (available in earlier comment in this section here ) is used in both )

Purification Program

The program is done after a full medical examination and with a doctor’s approval. Your progress is supervised closely by personnel highly trained to help you through each step of the program

I'm going to post to this thread some information located elsewhere regarding the Training Routines ( TRs ) and Objective Processes aka the Objectives, how they directly connect to Scientology, what they do and don't do, and how in recent time, changes were made to the Objective processes so that students in Scientology and in Narconon are trained in these changes, which include many more hours of doing the processes.

As any former scientologist will tell you, these initial; indoctrinating processes are what sets the foundation for the person to be willing to be on their Bridge To Total Freedom and allow oneself to be controlled by it.

Supposedly there are new course books. I hope to obtain copies and provide the content to readers because I and other critics of Narconon believe people need to be informed. In the meantime, avail yourself of the following information

Note: title of Senior Case Supervisor of the Western United States (Snr C/S WUS) is a top technical post for the western US region overseeing the application of scientology auditing ( which Objective Processes are ) for all churches within the WUS.

What really happens at a Scientology rehab? Nick Lister dishes on the Narconon experienceIn this first clip Nick talks about his time at Scientology’s biggest drug rehab facility, Narconon Arrowhead, located two hours east of Oklahoma City. When it’s convenient, Scientology claims it has no relationship to or responsibility for the Narcnonon organization. At Scientology events, it’s another story — leader David Miscavige openly talks about Narconon as a branch of the church that’s intended to expand Scientology’s influence.[..] [..] You can see that the Narconon program is 100 percent Scientology.[..]http://tonyortega.org/2015/08/05/what-really-happens-at-a-scientology-drug-rehab-nick-lister-dishes-on-the-narconon-experience/comment-page-1/

Here are the two course books used in Narconon, training student to co-audit the Objective ProcessesThere are supposedly updated but will suffice until we receive updated ones. Note that most of the information will not be changed, as Scientology technology must be used exactly as written by Hubbard. Most likely the practical requirements ( time and use of the processes ) is more direct, precise. Students will still be doing these processes, and perhaps more already existing processes are included in the new version). You can read these on line or obtain by pdf from links in previous posts here in this thread.

Here are some good resources by knowledgeable people regarding the Scientology training routines and objective processes that are used in Narconon.

Mike Rinder, now know to many as the man who assisted in most of Leah Remini's episodes in Scientology, The Aftermath series wrote about these processes and the intended changes to The Survival Rundown, a year before the briefing incident occurred. Worth reading:

[..] OBJECTIVES In present time and able to control and put order in the environment

The lowest level of auditing in Scientology consists of what are called the "objective processes." These are often programmed for a newcomer to Scientology after he has completed the introductory course. The stated purpose of these drills is "to get the preclear more in touch with his environment (reality)." The hypnotic content of these drills, however, could indicate that they were conceived to do just the opposite. [..] http://www.religio.de/books/wakefield/us-06.html

For the curious. Located at the end of the index listed here.there is a pdf of the following Scientology references about the TRs (Training Routines) required to audit or co-audit Objective Processes in Scientology. Some of these drills and processes discussed are used in the Narconon program.
